The first concern of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes (regarding the History Colorado Center’s Sand Creek Massacre exhibit) is “the very name of the exhibit.” So let’s give the exhibit a more descriptive and accurate name: Chivington’s Genocide at Sand Creek?

John R. Isaac, Littleton

In the eyes of our president, his circle of advisers, and their supporting talk-show hosts, how many tons of bombs must be dropped on foreign countries to re-establish “American credibility”? Would cluster, white phosphorous, and napalm bombs count for extra points?

Russell W. Haas, Golden

As I watch the unfolding of the Syrian situation, I find myself thinking that this is déjà W all over again.

Kirk Jamison, Centennial

The Supreme Court decision allowing corporations to spend as much money as they want to campaign for candidates will make voting much easier. All we have to do is watch the TV ads to see exactly who not to vote for.

Jim Corcoleotes, Edgewater

I can’t afford health care insurance, and after the Supreme Court decision regarding campaign financing, now I can’t afford to vote either.

Deborah Kelly, Morrison

Thanks to our Supreme Court, the Constitution could now be replaced by a shorter document, tossing out the verbiage of the old one. The new one could be put in a dozen words: “The nation is owned by the rich and their power is absolute.”

Garrison Keillor wrote: “We don’t choose our family doctor based on his ability to yodel, and we don’t elect a woman vice president because she’s perky.” Yikes. We elected a perky president based on his ability to yodel.

Ed Quillen accurately portrayed what I have been saying for 22 years since I lived and worked in Haiti. Whenever conservative America proclaims we should rid our government of regulations, entitlements and subsidies, I reply that they should move to Haiti, a perfect example of pure, unfettered capitalism.
Elaine Hood, Conifer

In last year’s legislative session, Colorado senators and representatives wimped out on three life-and-death issues: seat belts, cellphones and the death penalty. Will someone grow a backbone this year or will they just push “replay”?
Virginia Dennis, Lakewood

Thanks for reminding us that the founder of Kwanzaa has a criminal background. I recall that Jesus of Nazareth also was convicted of crimes against Rome. It appears God prefers to work through those whom some of us call criminals, with the exception of Congress.

In reply to your articles on airport scanners: I refuse to submit to such a peep show; I’ll drive instead. If the TSA personnel post scans of their bodies in the screening areas for us to see, I may reconsider.

Rich Cantillon, Littleton

The Denver Post says Colorado is the nation’s cannabis capital. This gives a whole new meaning to the Mile High City!

Susan Greene has it exactly right about Andrew Romanoff, but she doesn’t get around to making her central point until the beginning of the penultimate paragraph, where she writes: “It’s far too early to count anyone out of a (U.S.) Senate race that will benefit from primary challenges.”

Sanford (Whitey) Watzman, Denver

Each passing day of the Obama administration seems to change “government of the people by the people for the people” to government of the government by the government for the government. Is this the change people wanted? Seems dangerous to personal freedom.

Valerie Starke, Denver

My solution to our current marijuana mess: Legalize it, tax it and sell it in liquor stores.

I was pleased to see that the D.C. sniper was executed just seven years after his arrest. Maybe Colorado should send Nathan Dunlap to Virginia, since they don’t seem to waste much time. Dunlap has been sitting on Colorado’s death row since his 1993 murders. Why?

Michael Grayem, Aurora

If the proposed health care act is so good for us, why is Congress exempt from its coverage? This alone is reason enough to refuse to allow it to become law.

Valerie Starke, Denver

Thank you for your recent coverage of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Here is the speech no American politician has the fortitude to make: “Mr. Netanyahu (Israeli prime minister), tear down that wall!”

Frank Ohrtman, Denver

Now that marijuana is readily available, we get a chance to see the sincerity and integrity of the majority of marijuana “medical providers” and “patients.”

Delmar H. Knudson, Denver

To all the gun nuts out there who insist guns don’t kill people: Fort Hood! Orlando! Another day, more killings with guns. If there were no handguns or semi-automatic weapons, how many people would be killed by them?

The White House claims that Tuesday’s elections were not referendums on the Obama administration. While this may be true, I know that if Jon Corzine and Creigh Deeds had both won, the White House would claim that Tuesday’s elections were referendums on the Obama administration.

Ryan Adler, Arvada

When Gerald Ford was president, I got a flu shot and it worked: It gave me the flu. I have not had a flu shot since — or the flu since.

Now the president is being judged on how many women he invites on his sport outings. What’s next — did he use the urinal at the wrong angle? Enough already!

Vivian Taylor, Aurora

I hope The Post’s investigations into the inconsistencies in Stephanie Villafuerte’s statements about conversations concerning Carlos Estrada-Medina won’t get the paper on the Obama enemies list along with Fox News.

Rich Jarboe, Arvada

I just read in The Denver Post that you could buy a new Tesla Roadster for $109,000 and get $42,083 back from the state. If that isn’t a huge tax break for the wealthy, I don’t know what is.

James Sample, Denver

In the interest of efficiency, Colorado should combine two ever-popular permits and issue them as one: medical marijuana and concealed carry. The Stoned Pistol Packer Permit would doubtless raise a bucket of cash for Colorado’s coffers.

Americans need to ask themselves one question. Which would be the greater risk: vaccinating with a shot that could be tested more or facing the flu season without vaccination? I’ll bet the median IQ level of those who vaccinate is at least 10 points higher.

Bob Masslich, Black Hawk

President Obama said he would accept the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of all Americans. Based on the response, I’d say many of us Americans don’t deserve it.

Allison Gerfin, Eckert

Perhaps the Heene family did us a favor – in fact, a great service to American society. With their help, and divine or Nielsen intervention, could we be blessed with the beginning of the end of “reality TV”? Let us pray!

Gregory and David Wilson, Arvada

President Obama’s $250 to seniors is a bribe to compensate for no increase in Social Security. Give the $250 to reduce our national debt. That’s more appropriate. Our grandchildren will appreciate it.
